Please note that this is the SECOND time this guy has been bitten while "playing" with a rattlesnake -proving once again that when Mr. Darwin gives a pop-quiz, some people fail.

"I probably had to be 19. I remember it getting stuck [on my hand]," he said, explaining the last time he was bit by a rattlesnake – also in Coolidge where he grew up.

He said he used to play with snakes as kid to entertain himself and has since learned to cook them.

There’s a proverb in there somewhere, aching to come out.

and the wound is still difficult to look at
It balances out with the neck tattoo quite nicely, though.

He had to play with a rattlesnake?

I guess there were no Cobras around.

I’ve been into snakes since I was a kid, and I’ve had many as pets (including rat snakes, boas, ball pythons, water snakes, green snakes, pine snakes and others).

But even I would not be dumb enough to play with a rattle snake — let alone be tupid enough to let it get within striking distance of my face or any other part of my body.

It just like the Old Gypsy Woman said: “It’s all fun and games until the rattlesnake bites you on the face.”

A snake is a snake no matter how many times it sheds it’s skin.

I remember years ago, either on John Gunther’s HIGH ROAD or Lowell Thomas’ HIGH ADVENTURE show, about women in some temple in India who dance and hypnotize cobras, then kiss them on the head.

Also saw on THAT’S INCREDIBLE years ago some guy in the USA hypnotize and kiss a rattlesnake.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

and yet, despite all of the great things that occur in Arizona every day, Arizonans keep reelecting John McCain and God lets him live past his spoil date.

On the bright side, after a few more bites he’ll be immune and his blood can be used for antivenin.
